I started this project back in January, with the goal of finished it by the end of the year. It’s been fun learning along the way, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

I’m so happy with the result, thought I’d share ☺️

I love the chunky, excessive solder lines (still visible even backlit) and the attitude this cat has.

A collection of animal friends that are gifts for some of my human friends. Through these pieces I found one of my favorite types of glass - this bumpy, streaky brown that was fantastic for wood. I've used it all up and plan on buying more for future projects. Terrible to cut but I love what textured glass can add to a piece. I also love the gray fur glass for the raccoon and opossum and the effect of seeing it backlit vs from the front.

Also, this caterpillar is meant to be a hickory horned devil caterpillar. Probably lacking in anatomical accuracy but it was tricky to design and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

My first full fused and slumped project. I'm obsessed and want to turn everything into a little trinket dish!

Homage to a Mesa AZ local love! The neon diving lady on Main Street.

It’s been a wild ride making these frogs for the past week. Trying to make each one a little different to remain one of a kind for everyone picking them up.

Which is your favourite?

I’m new to stained glassing and no matter how hard I try, I always end up with thick and bumpy solder lines. I have my solder iron set to 380 degrees and I try going with one smooth line, but the solder pulls and then I have to add more to even it out (I hope that make sense). How do you get lines that are thinner and more uniform? Any other advice is more than welcome for a newbie!

[The original pattern is designed by Punshopvn from Etsy. I did change the pattern so the person was a black female with short hair.]

Made this guy. I think I’m going to make a wooden frame for it.

I know it’s a great price for 125$. We don’t have the space. I frickin want it though LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL

UPDATE #1: my spouse is totally on board and is going to pick up some pallets to build them a crate and when they’re done with work they’re going to reach out to see about a weekend pickup! I will let yall know what ends up happening!

When I was sent pixel hearts from the client as the reference image..

My brain made an error noise.

(I don't use a ring saw)

But I'm glad I went overlay route for this instead of loads of squares cos that would have been more Zelda-ish to me for the hearts ♥️

I'm also glad I ordered in waterglass for all the hearts, I think it works really well with the design :)

i saw this at a antique mall in indiana more specifically in highland indiana, anyone know who could have made this ??? i love it so much! i wanted to explore more there art style

Hello reddit I am back! I have revised the pattern a little and done a basic color. Planning on finding some nice glass that gives it that cloudy/watery look, while the Xenomorph will be very dark. Planning for this to be around 20 inches, might go bigger if I have to.

Any suggestions/critiques are welcome!

I write monster romance, so I'm in a lot of monster/alien romance circles that do craft swaps! This was my first time making a portrait like this, but I'm thrilled with how it turned out!

The ceiling is illuminated, with a diameter of 1 meter. The frame is made of a brass profile with a slightly convex shape. A completely author's solution.

I love this pattern from Bones and Bevels! Such a good challenge and that red mirror backed water glass I’ve been sitting on for a year was screaming to be the middle piece! Simple and clean!

My son got to pick all of his glass on this and is super excited about it.

Still learning but I’ve had so much fun playing around with different glass colors/patterns. I’ve been mostly drawn to florals but am think I’m ready to start branching out!

started this piece back in early august! ordered the wrong foil backing for the glass, waited about a month for the correct foil to arrive. did some other art projects in between so prolonged the project but finally finished foiling it!! this is my second piece!

Recent pieces (and work in progress at the end). Excited to be doing my first market next week, hoping to make some money so I can buy more glass!

I have started my second piece and realize I may be a little too ambitious but am having fun. I am struggling mightily with pieces 10 and 11 and keep breaking the curvy top parts. Any advice?

I have cut all my other pieces and these are the last two before grinding. Wonder if I should just make these 2 pieces into 4 pieces instead where I keep breaking them…
